"Ladies and gentlemen, Mirage will be doing a digital show of their
new line of parts. These brand new parts are like nothing you have ever
seen before!" announced the loudspeaker.
A new techno beat started playing as the arena darkened. Laser lights started making designs on the wall that would kind of get you dizzy if you were on the lower levels of the arena. Four visual MTs came to the middle of the arena, and formed a giant TV screen. Once they created the enormous rectangle, a video started playing.
"ACs of the past . . ." started the audio. This sounded cheesy as hell, "were made out of metal," well, duh, "but now, a new breed of ACs have been created!"
The screen lit up with a new line of silver AC parts. They had smooth, shiny surfaces. These parts seemed familiar to me . . .
"Hydrosilver metal has made AC parts that can morph into anything! No more need for repairs! Hydrosilver repairs itself!" I felt a chill run down my spine, "Weapon parts are pre-equipped into these parts. The hydrosilver molds itself to form the weapon! Upgradeable crystals are used for ammunition, and each separate crystal has a unique ability that will greatly aid you in battle!"
The dream! Somehow, I have a feeling my dream I had a few weeks ago is a prophecy! Am I some kind of prophet? I doubt it, but what other explanation is there? The dream and this show are way too similar. I spent the rest of the few minutes of the high-tech ad to ponder on what the hell was up with that dream. When it was over, the countdown for EY 388 began.
"Hey Myk! The countdown is starting!" Lynn said.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six," I counted down with Lynn as she held tightly onto my arm, "five, four, three, two, one, happy new year!"
Lynn kissed me on the cheek. I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Happy new year, babe," Lynn said. She then turned around so she can wish Todd a happy new year. I went over to Soni.
"Happy new year," I said with a smile.
"Hey, you too," she replied, smiling back. I still get so mesmerized by her smile. We hugged for a few seconds. Soni is a good hugger. After a few moments, she whispered in my ear.
"I love you," Soni said.
"I love you too," I replied. Damn! I shouldn't have said that, that might get me much more deeper into trouble than I already am!
"Ring, ring," Lynn opened up her cell phone.
"This is Lynn. Hey daddy, what's up? Oh, my God! Are you serious? Are you alright? When did this happen? Alright, ok. I can do this, don't worry, I'll be safe. I'll be on the next transport to Neo Zion. Tell my mechanic to prepare my AC for battle. Take care, daddy, I love you."
"What was that all about?" I asked while Lynn put on her coat.
"That was my father. Neo Zion has been attacked. I've been drafted into the Neo Zion elite guard. I have to go now, sorry," replied Lynn. This is not cool at all.
"Ok, be safe," I said. Lynn rushed out of the room. I hope that is not the last time I see her.

"Incoming e-mail" said my computer. I got out of bed. Why am I in my boxers? I barely remember what happened at the after party. All I remember is that Lynn left for Neo Zion, then Todd offered me a few glasses of Oceania wine. Then, well the rest is blank.
"Computer, who sent the e-mail?" I asked.
"E-mail is from the Neo Isaac City elite guard," replied my computer.
"Mmmmmm, who is it, honey?" said a voice in my bed. What the hell is Soni doing naked in my bed? Why is the elite guard after me? How wasted was I?
"Its Neo Isaac elite guard," I said. I sat down on my computer desk and opened my inbox. Soni wrapped the bed sheet around her and got out of bed. She walked over to me and sat on my lap.
"This is the Neo Isaac City elite guard. In response to last night's events . . ."
"Damn, how wasted was I?" I asked.
"Don't worry, I bet whatever you did isn't that bad, hehe," Soni joked. She started kissing my neck.
". . . we have decided to fortify Neo Isaac's defenses, therefore we are drafting you into the Neo Isaac City elite guard. This is only a temporary military role."
"What the hell?" I said.
"Oh my God! You've been drafted!" Soni said, this time she wasn't joking around.
"You are expected to arrive at EG HQ at 10:00 am in your AC. Disobey this request and you will be executed for disloyalty to your city." Well, I guess I have no choice.
"Myk, this can't be happening!" Soni said.
She got off my lap and started pacing around the room. I sat in my chair still in disbelief. Being a soldier is a lot more dangerous than being a raven. A soldier has to do every mission handed to him, no matter how difficult. And they don't care how good you are either. The city views you as an expendable, not as a valued soldier. They don't care if I have to jump in a pit with a survival rate of 0.1% to save the city. All I can do is hope that my assignments aren't hard.
I finally stood up in my chair. I guess I better start packing.
"Myk, be safe please, we've only been back together for 3 days, and I'd hate for you to get hurt," said Soni as she held onto my arm.
"I'll be fine," I said, trying to ensure her that I'll be ok, I just wish I can ensure myself I'll be ok too.
With a few clothes packed, my custom machine gun in a locked case, and the key to my AC, I stopped to take what could be the last look at my room.
"I'm going to give you my hello kiss, so you have to come back," Soni said. She kissed me on the lips. She put a lot of feeling into this kiss, then she took her hands and started unbuckling my belt.
"Hey, I have to go though," I said.
"Its only 9:45, we got some time. I just don't want you leaving to feel so bad. Anyway we did this last night," she said. Wait a sec, we did this last night? I must have been stoned as shit.
She finished taking off my belt and pulled down my pants. I put my bags down. She then backed away to take off the bed sheet that covered her. After she took it off, she went forward and started kissing me in a very frisky way that had a lot of tongue. She brought her arms around me, and then jumped on me, so I had to carry her. The sudden weight change pushed me backwards until I hit the wall. I adjusted my foot stance so I could get a steady stand. I turned us around so that Soni was now with her back against the wall. She started smiling.
"This might sound kind of soon, but I want us to be together," Soni said.
"You mean you want to go all the way?" I asked.
"Yeah, I think we can have a good life together," She said with a smile. Her smile is just so perfect, I had no choice but to obey her.
